The Power of the Myriads

I'm confused to what exactly this does?

Is it supposed to increase build time for melee units, making level cheaper?

When I play as China, it appears to do neither, so I'm confused as to what benefit I get exactly while playing China.

your melee and gunpowder units are constructed 50% faster (I think it actually lowers their cost by 50% which is even better)

Apparently their production cost is 2/3 is what it would normally be (I looked it up).

Ye get 0.5 hammers more per hammer (50% more) when building melee/gunpowder units. Effectively, like Úmarth said, their production cost is 2/3 the normal.

Not *quite*, but close. Python rounds down, so you'll be going from 11 to 16 rather than to 16.5. This can result in one more turn in certain scenarios.

It doesn't come up that often but it may impact things in a long run of building troops.

Is that so? Silly integers and their truncating. The programmers should have used floats.

To remedy this, all hammer, commerce, and food values should be multiplied by 1000 so that the lost value from multipliers will be too little for anyone to care about.

Thanks all, I confirmed this in-game as well.

Just isn't obvious when playing as China.

 

[Úmarth]

Well I think in this case you can just trust the documentation.

it's 50%, but becomes a little more if it's multiplied by the ancient age civs modifier
